May 12, 2011 – Sign of a Slowing Global Economy as Copper Breaks below 200-day
Copper gapped lower at Wednesday’s open below its 200-day simple moving average. This is a
significant negative technical as copper had been above its 200-day since last July. The major
equity averages began the day straddling this week’s pivots and risky levels. The Dow
Industrial Average remained shy of its weekly risky level at 12,794. The same was true for the
Russell 2000 with its weekly risky level at 868.01 and the SOX versus its weekly risky level at
448.29. The NASDAQ was above its weekly pivot at 2856, but ended the day below it. The S&P
500 and Dow Transports also reversed back below their weekly pivots at 1352.3 and 5517
respectively. The yield on the 10-Year note declined to 3.151 after the auction of $24 billion in
10-Year notes. Gold failed at my quarterly pivot at $1523.7 on Wednesday, and is trading below
$1500.0 this morning. Crude oil fell from $104.60 to below my annual pivots at $99.91 and
$101.92 on Wednesday. The euro broke below its 50-day simple moving average at 1.4299.

Daily Dow: (12,630) The five-week modified moving average is 12,427 with a daily pivot at 12,582,
and weekly risky level at 12,794. My annual value level lags at 11,491. A close below the 21-day
simple moving average at 12,548 would be bearish.

Definition of MOJO – This is my term for technical momentum. I use what’s called “12x3x3 slow
stochastic readings” from daily, weekly and monthly charts. The scale is zero to 10.0 where above 8.0
is overbought and below 2.0 is oversold.
